Ethan Hayes has been one of our most improved players from 2005 to 2006. He has become a perfect fit for third base, since he seems to knock down every ball hit in his direction. He has an excellent understanding of basic baseball fundamentals and should continue to develop as the year progresses. It is obvious his parents are working with him regularly between team games/practices and this work is really paying off quickly.

He has a very strong throwing arm, and as we continue to work on his throwing accuracy, he could become a power pitcher for the Cubs, in the future. He has the potential to be a dominant power pitcher, similar to a Nolan Ryan-type pitcher.

Ethan, also is a power hitter with unlimited potential. When he smashes the ball, spectators in the stands all seem to fall silent because of the power he possesses. He has one of the most beautiful swings you will find anywhere among 9 year olds.

His height is an advantage, as well. As one of our tallest players, he could easily transition to first base or catcher as his skills continue to develop.

During recent games, opposing pitchers have been afraid to pitch to Ethan, and he seems to be getting more bases-on-balls. He is tied for the team lead in walks. With his tall frame, pitchers should be able to throw pitches within his strike zone, but he is not seeing many hittable pitches. Ethan, also, is the team leader in runs scored. It makes little difference to our coaches. If the other teams are afraid of his power, a walk is a run. Especially the way he runs the bases.
